Lockheed always wants more profit. But there’s a darker motive, though. They think that as they did the Manhattan project, and they went to the Moon, they can achieve a Disarming First Strike Capability without Nuclear Winter, too. The warheads on Minuteman-3 and Trident-2 are designed for that purpose by attacking missile silos only. Missile engineer Bob Aldridge-www.plrc.org-on European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), the missiles on 32 ships in the Mediterranean Sea, in Romania by 2015 and in Poland by 2018: “Whether they are on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike.” The missiles will be deployed by 2018 and result in Launch On Warning by 2017 and Accidental Nuclear War. The missiles in Romania and Poland must be stopped – or we are doomed. There’s no defense against Launch On Warning.
